Charles Oliveira has addressed some of the rumblings out there that he is planning to hang up his MMA gloves. ‘Do Bronx’ fielded this subject ahead of his UFC Rio bout this weekend against Mateusz Gamrot after the initially scheduled Rafael Fiziev withdrew. Oliveira is closing in on fifty professional MMA fights, and while he is days away from turning 38 years old, heading off into the sunset is not within his focus.
Some also theorized that maybe the former UFC lightweight champion was looking for a perfect swan song fight as the Brazilian has a high-profile fight on home soil in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday night.
